"Ride Along" stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are featured in the latest issue of JET Magazine and TheYBF.com has the exclusive first look at the cover! Check it out inside...
Ice Cube and Kevin Hart have teamed up to create some Hollywood magic (in the spirit of 48 Hours and Lethal Weapon) in their upcoming film Ride Along (in theaters January 17, 2014).
The two actors appear in the latest issue of JET magazine (and we have an exclusive look at the cover!) where they talk about taking calculated career risks in Hollywood and what fans can expect from them in 2014. Here are a few highlights from the upcoming issue:
Why did you agree to do the project?
Ice Cube: It was fun with a simple premise. I wanted it to be entertaining and for us to be compared to some of the great comedy duos. From 48 Hours to Lethal Weapon to Bad Boys, I wanted Ride Along to have the same feel.
You say the field is a gamble. What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken?
Kevin: I took a gamble when I quit my job, which meant putting my all into stand-up comedy. That really could’ve gone either way, but it’s hard to tell me something isn’t going to work, especially when I’m betting on myself. I know what I’m capable of.
What’s on deck for 2014?
Ice Cube: I’m working on a movie about NWA and music. Of course, I’m always focused on my family. I have a 19-yearold daughter and my youngest son is 13. I’m teaching them to make sound decisions and to know right from wrong; it really isn’t complicated.
Kevin: I’m working on scripts and a new show for ABC. I still have Real Husbands of Hollywood and about four movies lined up. I’m looking forward to making more films and producing more projects under Hartbeat Productions. I want to show people this guy won’t stop.
